I’ve slacked again. This is going to be a long one as it’s been quite a while since my last post. In that time, our nanny Alex had her baby, so we’ve had Marlo our cousin come fill in, luckily it’s going great. Izzy has become all that closer to Read more…
I have 3 more days left of quarantine, before I can hold Joe again and give Izzy a hug. I really don’t know how I used to travel so much. Can’t imagine being gone from them on a regular basis. The things that COVID has changed, some for the better, Read more…
The first post of 2021. Izzy and Joe’s New Year’s Eve was uneventful. Mom and Dad had a huge feast from outback (at 9:30 pm thanks to a 2 hour delay by Outback), courtesy of Aunt G, but other than that, we didn’t do a ton. In 2021, Izzy has Read more…
